On Thursday, December 18, Comedy Central aired the last-ever episode of The Colbert Report, a series that—after nearly a decade on the air—will go down as one of the finest examples of satire in the history of comedy. This is my eulogy. »12/19/14 9:00am 12/19/14 9:00am

With just two weeks left on the clock for the Colbert Report, the show is cramming in a few more splashy segments. Like for instance last night's visitor: U.S. president Barack Obama, who dropped by for an interview and temporary commandeered Colbert's desk. Welcome to the "fuck it" stage of the Obama presidency! »12/09/14 9:30am 12/09/14 9:30am

On Monday, before The Colbert Report goes ungently into that good night, Stephen Colbert will take a trip to Washington D.C., where he will be interviewing President Obama for the first time. "I cannot overstate how huge this is," Colbert said on his show last night. "The size of the hugeness? Large. I'm so proud to… »12/05/14 10:40am 12/05/14 10:40am

Toni Morrison stopped by for a chill chat about race, pigeonholing and the time she was taken aback by her own written words on Wednesday night's edition of The Colbert Report. "Is your entire literary career a midlife crisis?" Stephen Colbert asked. »11/20/14 1:30pm 11/20/14 1:30pm

Rather than focus on the midterm election results, let's focus on another tragedy. After 14 years of brilliantly lampooning politics with The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert will—after last night—-never again give election night coverage on Comedy Central. »11/05/14 4:00pm 11/05/14 4:00pm

People of color are taking over … the fall television schedule. From Taraji P. Henson and Viola Davis to Octavia Spencer and Tracee Ellis Ross, it’s a long overdue change on network TV. »8/28/14 11:40am 8/28/14 11:40am

Well, the Emmys are still on an hour after they should have ended, so perhaps it's fitting that they started scraping the bottom of the barrel. We have now entered the unfunny, sexist part of the program. »8/25/14 10:43pm 8/25/14 10:43pm

Last night on The Colbert Report, effortless performance artist Stephen Colbert sat down with painstaking performance artist James Franco. The latter thought this would be the perfect opportunity to talk about their shared craft, but Stephen — who refuses to recognize that he's playing a character while on air — was… »7/31/14 12:20pm 7/31/14 12:20pm

Is Hillary Clinton too old to be president? Are you already sick to death of this question? I sure am! (It's going to be a long, infuriating slog to 2016, guys.) On the bright side, we've got Stephen Colbert until the end of the year. »6/06/14 12:40pm 6/06/14 12:40pm

Last night on The Colbert Report, Stephen addresses the controversy surrounding LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling who, as of yesterday, was given a lifetime ban from the NBA thanks to racist comments he allegedly made during a recorded conversation with his mistress. »4/30/14 5:00pm 4/30/14 5:00pm

Stephen Colbert doesn't move to The Late Show until 2015, but that doesn't mean that his Colbert Report character hasn't started saying his goodbyes. For one of the first stops on his farewell tour, Stephen returned to The Daily Show — the series that helped him grow for correspondent to host — to let Jon Stewart know… »4/24/14 4:50pm 4/24/14 4:50pm

Now that the nation has had a serious(ly fucking stupid) conversation about whether a woman can be both president and a grandmother, America can move on to more pressing matters: Was this pregnancy planned especially to boost Hillary's chances? »4/22/14 2:30pm 4/22/14 2:30pm

After news broke that Stephen Colbert would be replacing David Letterman at the Late Show in 2015, responses were mixed. Some people mourned the impending loss of Stephen's right-wing alter ego and The Colbert Report, some people were excited and others were disappointed — though probably not surprised— about CBS'… »4/11/14 11:05am 4/11/14 11:05am
